by this department for all errors or mis-
deeds of their employees while in the legiti-
mate suit OF their occupation as drain lay
ers."

Chatham's Public Schools.

The public schools were closed yesterday,
and both teachers and scholars doubt
less enter upon their much needed vacation
with anticipations of very pleasant period
of rest and enjoyment. The school year
was very successful one, and is regarded
with much satisfaction by the superintend-
ent and Board of Education. The teachers
were very faithful and earnest, and the
scholars showed greater improvement than
in any previous year
The people of this county have reason to
be proud of their public schools, and they
are proud of them The schools have been
gradually improved until those of no other
county of the State are superior to them
Indeed, there is some ground for thinking
that this is the banner county so far as pub
lie schools are concerned.
When a boy has graduated from the high
school he is prepared to enter upon a bust
ness career, or, If he proposes to study a
profession, he is ready for college. As for
the girls who graduate they have moro solid
information and are better qualified to pur-
sue n course of reading if they have an in
clination in that direction, than if they had
received a diploma from some of the most
highly recommended boarding schools.
They may not be versed i'll some of the
things which are regarded as important
parts of liberal education for girls, but
they are well qualified to take up any
branch of study which they may consider
interesting or profitable, and pursuei it with
out much, or any, aid from teacher. The
aim of the public schools, so far as the girls
are concerned, is to graduate sensible young
women with clear appreciation of the
duties and responsibilities If life, rather
than finished young ladies who arc ambi-
tious of becoming society bellies.

Unsatisfactory as our penitentiary system
is there is little, if any, probability that the
present Legislature will substitute any Other
for it. 1t is probable that majority of the
Legislature would gladly adopt some Other
system if they knew of better come that
would not impose any additional burdens
upon the people.
1t is doubtless true, as charged, that
/ grave abuses exist under the present system
| but how to prevent them is a problem that
is not easily solved The tax payers not
willing that convicts shall become a burden
to them, and there is no prospect that they
will ever consent to anything of that kind.
! They contend that the penitentiary should
be disappearing, and there is no doubt
! that it is better for the convicts that they
should be kept employed.
Under the circumstances the Legislature
will doubtless try to provide against abuses
under the present system. Representative
Schofield is the author of bill which author
ICES the Governor to appoint warden for
each of the camps, who alone shall have
authority to infict punishment, and whose
| duty it shall be to see that the convicts are
consideration to which they are entitled.
While it might be possible to secure the
services of men who would discharge their
| duties as wardens faithfully and conscien-
tiouSly yet, unless great care were exercised
in selecting them, they would soon become
either the enemies of the lessees, seeking
every prctext for making them trouble, or
their apologists and friends, letting them
manage their camps to suit themselves.
The proposed wardens, in order to bring
about the reform which Mr. Schofield aims
at, would have TO he men of strong charac-
ter and good Judgment, who could not be
corrupted. Such men are, of course, OBJ
tainable but can they be obtained for the
compensation which the State is likely to
allow theme
Mr.. William NJ. Reese in a letter to
Representative Huff, expresses the opinion
that the law upon which the convict system
is based is all that is necessary to protect the
convicts against abuses of any kind. 1t not
only authorizes the Governor to
see that the male and female
convicts are kept separate, but it
gives him power to make such disposition
of the juvenile convicts as he may deem
advisable. He thinks therefore, that the
proper course for the Legislature to pursue
is to provide the Governor with a fund that
will enable him to do what is necessary to
prevent abuses
There are several bills relating to the
convicts pending, and, in the course of a
week or two, one of them, perhaps, will be
so far advanced as to give the members of
the Legislature a chance to express their
views on the convict question. Beyond the
fact that there is considerable dissatisfaction
with respect to the present treatment of the
convicts, little is known of their views on
this question. Thus far it has been mainly
discussed by the newspapers.

His Moral Lecture Not Appreciated.

From the NelC York Tribune
A fat disciple of prohibition, with a benevo.
lent countenance, a double chin and white
high hat, halted on Saturday afternoon in front
OF a group of typical New York neWsbOyS who
were resting their bodies on the stone steps in
front of a store in Park Row and delighting
their souls with few choice brands of cigarette
stubs which might have come from Delmonico's
(Once upon time). Looking severely over his
gold-rimmed glasses, he addressed ragged
urchin in the group:
boy, am sorry to see you forming this per-
niciouS habit at so early an'age."
The infant thus addressed shifted his weed to
the other side of his mouth, looked up with a
sort of uneasy grin and asked:
What 'er yer givin' us?"
Never use the filthy stuff 1t will soon lead
you to worse habits and will end YOU in a
drunkard's grave" continued the owner of the
white hat.
Give us rest, remarked urchin No. .

stern moralist wouldn't you like to leave
this city and live quietly on your own land?"
Rats shifted No. 2, cOntcmptuouSly.
Say, mister, where did you leave your wbisk-
ers?' asked new conner.
BY this time crowd had collected, and a
policeman, seeing a chance for some fine
work, hastily made his way into the centre of
the circle
Come now, mover he exclaimed sharply. as
he poked the fat man in the ribs. The gold
bowed spectacles cleaned with righteous indig-
nation.
''What do you mean, sir!' demanded the
owner
None of that, now" exclaimed the brass
buttons. This amt no lecture hall Are you
going to move? or shall | run you in?''
''I'l report You, SIR gasped the fat man
81 was only talking to these boys" but as he
looked for the boys, amazement was depicted
on his face. They had every one of them
''sloped." Gathering his scattered wits. he de
cided to slope also and moved on" while
the heartless crowd actually laughed.
